Hips Don’t Lie

My 9th grade son just got his first semester grades, and made 6 A’s and a B. He can thank my hips.  A CNN story reported that “curvy” women are smarter, and their kids are smarter too .  They defined curvy as having hips bigger than the waist.  (Yup, that’s me.)  Apparently, the fat cells in the hips and thighs store more Omega 3 fatty acids, which is essential for brain development during pregnancy.  Fat around the stomach doesn’t have as much Omega 3.  (That deficit, CNN added,  can be made up by taking Omega 3 supplements or eating more fleshy fish.)  So, should I surrender to my Shakira-self, and bag the New Year’s diet?  I guess not, but I’ll certainly shake my tail feathers more intelligently.
